Taste in Household Decorations.

Speaking Of portieres, it is now the fashion
to utilize old family shawls in this way. Old
Grape or India shawls make lovely curtains.
It is an advantageous way Of displaying these
heirlooms, and it is all the prettier not to have
any two alike.
For instance, not long ago called on
certain lady noted for her excellent taste in
household decorations At the door hung
white Grape shawl embroidered with roses.
At another an India shawl Of exquisite work
nanship hung, while at still another was
black Grape shawl covered with white silk
embroidery.
1t is no longer in good taste to have a regu-
larly made mantel lambrequin; they are too
set and stiff in appearance. The prettiest is a
bit Of some art fabric, purchasable of our
best upholsterers.
An old Grape shawl, carelessly thrown
upon the mantelpiece, q very pretty. A
Japanese robe Of bright eciors is pretty on a
mantel, so arranged thai che shelves of the
mantel are overhung at each end by the robe,
which should be so draped as to display the
bright silk lining. The appearance of stiff
ness is avoided in every style of decorative
draping, which oftentimes show the taste, In
dividuality and skill of the lady whose be.
longings they are.-Evelyn Baker Harvier In

Professor J. Jacobsen, who has been in the
province for some years collecting Indian
curios for the Hamburg museum and writing
up the habits, customs and traditions Of the
aborigines, arrived down on the Boscowitz
from Bella Coda The professor spent all
last winter at Tucalo, the head of the south
ernmost of the Bentinck arms, which is dis
tAnt from Bella Coda about eighty miles.
Here he found the Indian in his primitive
state. wild, untutored savage, with but a
scant knowledge Of the arts or customs Of
civilization
The inle;, running far inland and being

prospectcrs, is never visited, and the Indians
say no white man ever went up to the head
Of it before. They live there as they do In
most places around the coast, by hunting and
fishing, deer and fur bearing animals abound
ing in large numbers. They are without
missionaries and cannibalism is rampant. The
professor tells Of some sickening sights which

weeks, though he came near the camp occa-

When he returned to the tribe he came naked,
notwithstanding that it was the middle Of
winter, with two or three feet Of snow on the
ground. The first man he met lie seized,
knocked down, and bit piece out of his arm,
which he chewed ravenously. This was re-

Sixty boys in military uniform, whose
sightlesss eyes were blind to the sunlight

above their heads, and who could not recog-

surrounded them, marched and drilled the

OF the cadets Is feature OF this institution,

which the exercise gives them.

A hotel clerk, who came down here from
New York, said that he had tackled this evil
bravely at first and had laid down the law In
the most approved style, but "manana" had
